Russia-Ukraine War

24 Jan Russia-Ukraine War

Western allies continue to pressure Berlin to authorize the delivery of its modern Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine and Germany’s defense minister said there will be a decision soon on the tanks.

* Russia has warned that Ukraine will bear the consequences if other countries supply it with tanks.

* Russia has sent tens of thousands of new troops to reinforce the front lines in Ukraine over the past few months, a senior US military official said Monday but the troops have made little difference in the conflict, the official said, arriving on the front lines “ill-equipped, ill-trained” and “rushed to the battlefield.”
